FBI Photo B3 is a declassified still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026 under the PURSUE program. The incident is dated late 2025 and located in the Western United States. The monochrome image was captured by a U.S. military system and shows a small, dark, circular object positioned just right of a central crosshair reticle, with an indistinct mountain range or cloud formation in the background. The operating timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:11:34, which the document acknowledges is incorrect due to the system clock not being properly configured. The reporting operator stated they could not positively identify the object.
The document is notable for its sparse supporting material: no accompanying mission report was provided, and the original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO. The incorrect timestamp limits the ability to correlate this record with other events. The image quality is described as grainy, and no analytical conclusions about the object's nature are offered by the reporting agency.
